311km/h = 86.389 m/s 
<span>Initial KE </span>
<span>= 0.5 * 210 * 86.389^2 J </span>

<span>work done by force of ground </span>
<span>= F * 0.81 J </span>

<span>0.5 * 210 * 86.389^2 = 0.81 F </span>

<span>F = 967433.58 N </span>

<span>capsule's weight W= 210 * 9.81 = 2060.1 N </span>

<span>F = 469.6 times capsule weight ---answer</span>

consider the equation is Y equals 1/square root of x and y=x-2. approximate solution of the system equations
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

x=1 and x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following system of equations:

y=\sqrt{x} and y=x-2

To solve the problem, we need to equal the two equations:

x-2=\sqrt{x} ⇒ (x-2)^{2} =x ⇒ x^{2} -4x + 4 = x  

⇒ x^{2} -5x + 4 = 0  

So you need to find two numbers that added equal to 5 and multiplied equal to 4. These two numbers are x=-1 and x=-4.

Then, the factorized form of the polynomial is: (x-1)(x-4).

The, the solution to the system of equations is: x=1 and x=4.

The graph shows the dilation of quadrilateral MNOP with the origin as its center. Which rule describes this transformation?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

D) (x, y) → (1/3x , 1/3 y)

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation is a change of size, if the dilation factor is greater than 1, then the figure is enlarged.  If the dilation factor is smaller than 1, the figure is shrinked.  In both cases, the coordinates are MULTIPLIED by the dilation factor.

Among the 4 choices, only 2 are dilations.  One is with a dilation factor of 3 (A), which means the shape was enlarged.  And the other is with  dilation factor of 1/3, meaning the shape was shrinked.

Since we went from MNOP (LARGE one) to M'N'O'P' (small one), the dilation factor was < 1... so 1/3 is the answer.

Answers B and  C show a translation/movement of the shape, not a dilation.
